Charges have been denied by Caroline Bosbach anew
Caroline Bosbach, a newly elected CDU member of the Bundestag, is currently embroiled in a scandal involving allegations of misuse of party funds and election irregularities[1][2]. This controversy has caused significant pressure on Bosbach, who is also notable for her appearance on the RTL show "Let's Dance" and being the daughter of longtime CDU politician Wolfgang Bosbach.
The key controversy revolves around the alleged misuse of €2,500 in CDU party funds, indirectly linked to Caroline Bosbach, and the Mitchell Union election allegations. However, the details about the Mitchell Union election allegations are not mentioned or detailed in the provided sources, which primarily focus on the financial accusations linked to Bosbach.
The CDU Bundestag member is under investigation for her election to the executive board of Mittelstands- und Wirtschaftsunion (MIT) in 2023. Allegations suggest that free catering was promised to secure the election of the leadership team, to which Bosbach belonged.
In response to the allegations, Bosbach has denied accepting 2,500 euros from a CDU party account via circuitous means and has claimed that some of the evidence is manipulated[1]. She has also expressed her hope that the allegations will be clarified soon, especially given the current NRW municipal election campaign[2].
The executive board of the CDU has decided to hand over all documents to the Cologne public prosecutor's office for independent review[3]. Meanwhile, Bosbach has stated that she plans to cooperate fully in the investigation and that she plans to take legal action against what she perceives as a campaign to damage her credibility[4].
Until the allegations have been clarified, Bosbach has decided not to attend any campaign events[4]. No statement has been made by the MIT regarding the new allegations[1].
